It's very unlikely a PS2 mouse can be changed while on....they're as fussy as serial mice
I was able to change it, but then the keyboard did not work, I still had to reboot.
I just bought a Microsoft basic optical mouse yesterday, when I had my pc in to have a *clattering sound) checked out. I did not pay attention to the small end that attaches to the pc, and when I went to install it, I realized the others had the round end, and this had a flat end (this being the USB type), I'm guessing). I wanted to change it to a different one, I purchased a couple months ago, because I discovered it was bothersome to my hand, wrist and arm...it seemed fine at the pc place, but when I was using it , it seemed too small, and the scroll wheel is *bumpy* for lack of a better term, it does not give smooth feeling when used.
Since my original hp mouse that came with the pc, stopped working perfectly (roller ball type, yes it was cleaned), a year ago, I have been having a difficult time finding the perfect mouse. The Microsoft one I bought yesterday, is number 4, in a line of disappointing mice..mouses. I do not *play games*...but a good mouse is essential to my artwork. Anyone have any suggestions as to a mouse best suited for this purpose?
And Jafo, can you really have the two different *plugged in* at the same time?
